Can someone tell me if my cable co (AT&T) is full of it? What does the below mean? I've had dig cable for some months now. It's ok. I was told by the tech that AT&T does a box upgrade when requested. Adding an S-Video out to the box. I have confirmed it's possible on that unit. Well, the short answer was no, but their explanation confounds me:
"Digital NexTV provides higher quality video services to your existing television set without requiring the purchase of a special High Definition Television. AT&T delivers digital signals in a 64 QAM modulation format. The digital signal allows our customers to realize improved noise and distortion performance through the cable system (increased audio and video quality). Our Digital Set Top Box interfaces directly your TV in the NTSC video (coaxial input) format."
I just got a new Sony Wega (mostly for DVDs). I really don't even care about TV all that much or I would be using a satellite dish or something, but should I be annoyed with this?
Any input appreciated.
